A communication disruption can only mean one thing….

I sense a plot to destroy the campaign. Good thing I’ve been harassing Bricktap /s (Day #360)

 

 

All these reveals and not a single one for SW? Bring me the @@ already!!

Bricks, sweat and tears, one year. Here's to much more madness at Eurobricks. 

Hey @BrickBob Studpants, what do you make of my fine little Christmas selection? Is this like the one area where I can even remotely compete with your extensive collection? 

 

You know nothing of madness. You were not an inmate of the Aslume, but you’d have fit in quite nicely.

You are strong in the Yuletide of the force. Most impressive.

I know it's not, but this sounds like a Baylan quote.

 

I am surprised star wars didn't get any reveals, you think we'd see the June stuff.

I think the tone deafness of it is to be expected at this point unfortunately. Who am I to judge as I have little idea of the work that goes into marketing, but I also can’t help but think it isn’t hard to get these things right especially for a theme that’s been running for almost three decades.

Yep, it's to be expected by now. I mean, they're calling it the "May the 4th" reveal event for a reason. So if we want them to reveal anything beyond that, that's kinda on us. But that doesn't exactly prevent them to reveal LSW stuff sooner in general, take more advantage of other big events etc. The best example is right now when literally every theme gets their June waves revealed but Star Wars. Not that there are many sets to reveal, let alone more juicy stuff, but still... principally, it just sucks.

I happen to know everything about madness. 

In this particular case, surely enough, I haven't experienced it first hand. But somebody was nice enough to give me an extensive recap of the whole thing. Sounds like you guys were in for a pretty wild ride. 

Be that as it may, more madness is to be expected in here. Otherwise it wouldn't be Lego. 

Thanks, I really enjoy this part of my collection.

Thanks to the part list and the speed build video from SpinBrick, here's the Studio file for the May 4th Darksaber GWP, in case you want to rebrick this, or your country doesn't run the promo and you don't want to fund them greedy flippers: 40917.io
It goes without saying, but don't sell the instructions or claim this as your own build elsewhere. It took me a good 3 hours of work.

[Darth_Bane13]

This May fourth GWP really feels like a step down from the last 2 years.

Very nice Xmassy display!  Almost, since you’re not going for completionism, ti hi 

I hope I can access EB properly again soon! Since the DDOS attack, I could only access the forum through my workplace IP, and even that only works temporarily. You only realise what you have when you don’t have it anymore  This has been the longest gap in my 20 years here

[Kaijumeister]

Somehow, Eurobricks returned.

Why DDoS attack Eurobricks of all places? It’s a chill internet forum to commiserate in our shared joy and contentions over plastic building blocks. In any case, I’m glad to see it back.

I’ve finally caught up on Shadow Lord and…oh my god I get it. WHAT a show! I could write so much on it.

We need Lego sets on this, I don’t know why Lego dedicated 9-10 set slots to Mando this year without a single slot for Shadow Lord. I mean, come on.

The continued delay in June set reveals for Star Wars is unfortunately intensifying my hopes that one of them will indeed be a Maul set, even though I know how unlikely that is.

“Unlikely” is putting it mildly, considering one set’s 18+ and the other 12+ with a PPR that suggests a buildable figure

I never said it aloud before in fear of being tarred, feathered and sacrificed on the altar of the TIE Avenger, but I’m pretty happy with this year’s offerings  I know, I’m the one who always asks for more balance, but I for one welcome the onslaught of Mando sets this year  The show sets fill important gaps and the movie sets are awesome so far!

And at least we already know that the 2027 sets will have more variety again ^^

The assassins have failed. Long live the glorious TIE Avenger campaign!!

As for the @@: We probably need to wait a bit longer for that one. Sets tying in with new movies are more secretive by default, and it’s an August set to boot. We need to see the June sets first!

[Alex_South]

in unrelated news, how do folks feel about the old marrok figure? i kinda wish they would have done arm printing instead of that pauldron piece.

[Darth_Bane13]

Anyone else think it's crazy were still getting stickers on UCS sets? Lego makes record profits every year yet can't print parts for collectors sets that cost hundreds of dollars. Stickers on playsets I kind of understand because it's for kids and they want to keep the price affordable, but why not go the extra mile for top of the line sets? They do all prints for Midi-scale which makes it even weirder since they're a lot cheaper.

It’s just delusion from my side really. I really love the show! I just get disappointed when material that’s popular, colourful, and interesting gets completely ignored by this theme when there is seemingly plenty of room to accommodate a single set, even amidst the Mando and Smart Brick focus.

And hey, to each their own  I’ve personally found the initial TMaG wave to be a little boring, but if the remaining sets on the film and show are strong, that’ll make up the year for me.

Most of the AT-AT-related scenes are quite prevalent in the trailers (plus descriptions of the first ~20 minutes of the film are out there now). I think it being an August set is more to do with the higher price-point than it is regarding potentially spoilery material. Can’t wait to see it though, I really want those Snowtroopers with a new helmet mould.

Speaking of that opening sequence in the film, I noticed in Adam Savage’s TMaG video that there is set photo of imperials manning those Hoth-looking turrets. Looks like the AT-RT Attack is a pretty accurate set! Skip to 8:50 here.

Subjectively I think it’s one of the better minifigures in the theme. I understand the armour piece makes him look bulkier than he actually is but I love the detail on it. Without the armour his head would look overly massive.

I’d presume the higher quantities produced for Starship Collection sets coupled with their absurd price points compared to UCS sets factor in printed pieces. Not condoning it, just speculating.

Yeah, MSL not getting sets is a huge blunder. Previous shows being underrepresented has usually been justifiable, but there are simply no excuses here. Fingers crossed for next year!

My point was more about such sets being more secretive regardless of whether they contain any spoilers, but yeah, the bigger question is why the @@ is an August set in the first place!

Agreed, we had the awesome lars kitchen, then a step backwards with the Death Star, then two great years, and now this.  I think this should have been tied to a set (like the other lightsabers).  There is always next year.

 

I am disappointed by the rumored discounts.  I will be picking up the Sail Barge at 4x VIP (would have preferred 20%, but at least this gets me closer to a good discount on the Death Star).  Wish there were some actual sales though.  At least 2xVIP looks more extensive than last year.

The hacker tried to kill the campaign. Their betrayal demands consequence. And that consequence requires a TIE Avenger. (#361)

Dammit.

100%. We went from last year’s truly unique and awesome play-set GWP to one that’s just a relatively mundane buildable object (it still looks good though)

I just finished episodes 5-6. TBoBF gets a set this year but MSL doesn’t?! Make it make sense! Shadow Lord is just amazing.

It’s been a crazy week for villains repaying aura debt. First Thragg and now Marrok.

But I’m now even more mad that it was 332nd troopers in the January BP. I maintain that it should have been TK Troopers!

I wouldn't say the Starship collection are absurdly priced compared to this N1 which is 1800 pieces for $250.

With the drumlacquer on this one, the fact that there's no figs in the starship collection sets, and the starship collection sets often have PPPs much lower than $0.138/piece with on average smaller pieces, I'd say the starship collection sets are markedly more expensive.

Yeah. If the starship collection sets had stickers, I'd have no idea where any of that cost was going. (Not that printed pieces make up that gap, but you know.)

 

Honestly episodes 5 and 6 were the least interesting so far to me, they aren't bad, but they're just something we've seen very often in star wars shows. They also kind of speedrun what I thought would be a slower-paced arc for both the planet and a certain character. But there were plenty of twists and new additions to the story, so it was still enjoyable. A few 8/10s following 4 10/10s.

Spoiler

The Empire just kinda comes in and immediately takes over, which I think is the first issue with this being a 10 episode show. Lawson speedruns the transition from being a law enforcement officer to killing scores of imperials within about 20 minutes of screen time, and while you can justify it with the fact that his son was in danger, they kind of gloss over what I felt should have happened over the course of a few episodes. (Similarly for Janix as a whole. The empire just immediately taking over is something we've seen them do, but with how the show's managed to play more in the grey, I thought it'd have been interesting to see them sort of sneak in starting as pretending "we're here to help" and then just taking more and more control from Janix as Maul continues to get out of hand, with them locking down the planet at the end of the season. Maybe the first officer could have been a Wilco type rather than generic imperial snothead, which causes characters like Two-Boots to eagerly cooperate, and then that officer is killed by maul and replaced by the empire with generic imperial snothead after the empire's already wormed it's way in. As is, two-boots turns against them in like two interactions.

Marrok is the exception to this, bringing some actual investigative work that we don't often get to see the inquisitors do. The Psychometry of course is a big help there, but we also see him let Lawson go to set a trap rather than typical inquisitor "kill people until the jedi come out to stop them" tactics. (Albeit a risky move on his part- Lawson clearly would not have invited the Jedi to his home, so it ended up being just hope that they'd go to him. Honestly I was surprised Lawson didn't immediately go talk with them somewhere else rather than keeping two jedi even momentarily in his home with his son during a planet-wide force user search.)

Devon continues to prove the young jedi archtype in animated shows doesn't have to be annoying. I think she's been doing a solid job, and appreciate that she stops Daki the first few times he tries to sacrifice himself. Daki is a walking set of jedi platitudes, but that's who he has to be for the story to work. He can't really give Devon any sort of solution or she wouldn't ally with Maul. (By the way, I totally thought Maul was going to stumble across Daki, kill him, and then tell Devon Marrok killed Daki. I still think they should do that.)

Rook continues to be awesome, I love that she's getting frustrated with Maul's obsession to have an apprentice. Hopefully she and the blackout mandos separate from him before his empire collapses.

I also loved the mind trick scene- I'm sure it's happened before somewhere, but it is refreshing to see that another stormtrooper had the presence of mind to be like "Dude, why'd you just let those guys go?" Absolutely hilarious situation to be in if you think about it, watching a coworker get mind-tricked in a galaxy that's kind of already forgotten that's a thing.

And of course, the Blackout Mandos each got a voice line, and giving slight insight to their characters too, which is obviously the best moment of the show aside from anytime Rook Kast is on screen.

Is drumlacquer really even that expensive to produce compared to other colors? The N1 only has 1 and a half reused figures, that's like $5 added value. I'm not saying starship collection is a great value but certainly the N1 isn't either.

It may not seem like it, but unquestionably yes, and markedly so. It's a whole additional process, not like pearl silver where they just load a different composition into the injection molding machine. I wouldn't estimate that it costs as much as printing each piece, but the general concept of having to do additional processing after molding is there. You need to have an additional worker/robot doing that, additional QC infrastructure, another machine that takes up space in the factories, etc. I've worked in the manufacturing industry and any time there's additional steps in the process you're adding a fair amount of cost- managers really like to try and get everything done in as few stations as possible. I guarantee you someone at the company had to fight tooth and nail to add drumlacquer to this.

Yeah the figures aren't as much of a factor as stuff like the drumlacquer or the larger number of larger pieces compared to the starship collection, but when you add it all up... Not to mention the N-1's PPP is pretty consistent with the other $200/now$250 price point UCS sets. With inflation adjustment it's pretty much identical even without factoring in the drumlacquer. And I'd say those are generally OK on price- not the best, but not baffling to me like a few of the Starship Collection sets.

 

 

I'm not going to do a "Day X of asking for Maul Shadow Lord sets" because I think @CloneCommando99's got that archetype perfected, but I want it to be known I feel as strongly as he does on that, if this is possible, specifically about an Aka'jor with Rook Kast and ideally the Blackout Mandos.

Are the Smart Play sets selling well? Haven't been following.

@Mandalorianknight unless @Swordy wants Love and TIE Avenger, you’re next. I would really appreciate some casting suggestions as were running out of users. I already have an idea for Red Guardian and Bucky has already been cast.

Apparently not. Amazon numbers are nowhere as good as they usually are for dumb sets. I remember the U-Wing getting over 1000+ purchases in its first month. Meanwhile Vader’s TIE is the only one of these Smart sets to breach 400+.

+1. I was worried we wouldn't ever get them after their absence from Bad Batch, but we can see now they were a fairly important transition between clones and stormtroopers and quite prominent across the Empire. It could end up being quite a glaring omission among Star Wars minifigs.

Yeah, TLG usually jump at every opportunity to tackle new Clone or Stormie variants, and yet the TK Troopers are left hanging out to dry  If we get MSL sets at some point, they’re a must!

This was a good explanation, I didn't know that. I still can't defend stickers in UCS sets though, even if they can't do prints I'd rather them try to add detail using Lego. At least they no longer do the STAMP for the plaque  

[CloneCommando99]

New clip has been released

So let me get this straight. There’s a scene in the movie, featured in all the trailers thus far, that involves a middle sized speeder that could be made with around 100 pieces, with exactly 4 stormtroopers and Lego didn’t think to turn it into a battlepack for the movie wave?

This the TIE Avenger and as @BrickBob Studpants points out with TK Troopers… What is it with Lego and fumbling Imperial set opportunities currently?!
